PokerStars now available on FanDuel in the USA!

FanDuel Poker has finally gone live in the US, thanks to a new partnership with PokerStars, and the early schedule is already drawing attention.

Ivan takes a close look at their tournament lineup, noting there’s a mix of daily and weekly tournaments in the $5 to $50 buy-in range, with guarantees starting at $3,000 and going up to $20,000.

For example, the $5 Daily Duel offers $3,000 GTD, and the $50 Mini Thrill on Thursdays puts up $20,000 GTD.

As Ivan points out that these guarantees are among the best for low buy-in events in the US market, putting FanDuel ahead of WSOP Online when it comes to cheap tournaments with solid promos. The schedule is still new and likely to evolve, but already it’s “one of the best options” for value-minded players.

PokerStars FanDuel goodies are finally arriving for US players.

So apparently, some US players on PokerStars (now on the new FanDuel Poker platform) have been getting some goodies. From what I’ve seen on the US Discord server, these were originally sent out around Christmas, but players are only just starting to receive them now.

Turns out it’s a pair of sleek, FanDuel PokerStars branded headphones. Honestly, the four-month delay kind of makes sense now 😄 They actually look pretty cool.

April 15 marks the end of the current rewards system, with all completed Chests paid out between April 15 and 22. The new collab should go live in early May.

The operator has a few weeks to iron out these wrinkles before Ontarians get to try it for themselves.

PokerStars on FanDuel is now live, bringing players from New Jersey, Michigan, and Pennsylvania all together on a shiny new platform.

The relaunch keeps the PokerStars identity intact with headline formats like Spin & Go and Zoom sticking around, alongside the usual suspects like Sunday Million and Super Tuesday.

The big question, though, is about the cost to play.

Our article dives into how the new rake and tournament fees stack up against both the old PokerStars US offering and rivals in the American market.

Few more days remaining on the No Sweat Series from PokerStars + FanDuel.

Players liking the new FanDuel + PokerStars experience.

It’s intriguing that PokerStars is running bigger Sunday Million guarantees in the US than globally this weekend.

Here’s something quite interesting happening this Sunday in the poker world.

PokerStars’ dot-com Sunday flagship tournament carries a $400,000 guarantee this weekend. Solid, but not extraordinary by its own historical standards.

Meanwhile, the new PokerStars on FanDuel, currently available in just three US states, is hosting two $500,000 guaranteed tournaments, both branded as Sunday Million.

Let that sink in for a moment.

The global dot-com network, spanning dozens of countries, isn’t hitting the $500K mark this weekend. Yet a ring-fenced US platform with a much smaller player pool is pushing past it—twice.

To be fair, context matters. This appears to be a one-off push on the US side. And historically, the dot-com network has set the bar much higher, regularly running $1 million guaranteed Sunday Millions.

In fact, on April 19, PokerStars will bring back a $500,000 guaranteed tournament on the dot-com network. So it’s not a question of capability, it’s more about timing and occasion.

Still, it’s a fascinating snapshot of how regional markets are evolving differently in today’s poker ecosystem.

PokerStars ropes in VegasMatt to tell us about the upcoming Sunday Million.

Remember you need a FanDuel Poker account if you want to play.

PokerStars x FanDuel is live, and early players are enjoying huge value.

FanDuel Poker, using PokerStars branding but on a new poker platform run by FanDuel, is officially up and running. Every player needs to create a new account to play, and if you haven’t signed up yet, you’re missing out on big overlays.

Being early days, the site is still building its player base—but they’re offering juicy guarantees to attract players. For example, the daily Nightly Stars tournament has an ambitious $50,000 guarantee for just a $100 buy-in. Unsurprisingly, the first two nights were overlaid, and this trend will likely continue.

Big events are coming over the weekend. The new Sunday Dynasty tournament literally doubles the guarantee to $100,000 for the same $100 buy-in. Sign up now to take advantage of early registration perks, including generous welcome offers and free tickets.

A strong early surge is building even as FanDuel Poker smooths out initial issues.

PokerStars on FanDuel may be dealing with a few early hiccups, but that hasn’t slowed player interest.

Day 2 pulled in close to 3,000 tournament entries, around 1,000 more than Day 1, a strong sign that momentum is already building.

With the Easter break coming up, there’s still plenty of room for things to settle in as the platform continues to evolve. Now that Pennsylvania has joined New Jersey and Michigan, all three states are sharing the same player pool, opening up more game options and bigger prizes.

It’s early days, and while some issues are still being worked through, the overall trajectory looks promising. More updates (and likely promotions) expected soon. Keep watching this space!
